My newest road bike (see signature) will turn 40 around the end of this year. The Capos are all past age 60, and the Carlton turns 60 sometime next year. The Passat wagon is now 20 years old, and I am keeping it as long as I reasonably can. The house turns 50 in about 3 years. I just replaced a 25-year-old gas range. The gas dryer is 20 years old. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it is broke, fix it and keep it.
